I must say that this piece of propaganda was a waste of good ink and paper and the money spent on postage could have been better served elsewhere. As a long time Oconee County resident I can say I am quite happy with the current leadership and integrity of Sheriff Scott Berry. Knowing very little about you, I could give your leadership abilities the benefit of the doubt until I learned about your stupid Facebook stunt! The very idea that you would post confidential information such as credit card numbers and other information on the internet for the whole world to read just shows what an idiot you are! Are you so blinded by your political pursuit that you would do something as juvenile and irresponsible as that? You obviously do not even begin to comprehend the gravity of the responsibility to confidentiality, integrity, and demeanor necessary to perform such an important role of leadership as the Sheriff of this great county. Your actions clearly demonstrate that you do not possess these qualities. I find it appalling that you react in such a manner of poor judgement that is consistent with that of an unbridled teenager rather than a mature adult. I truly hope that the citizens of this county will be made aware of your antics by those supporting our current Sheriff. The last thing this county needs or wants is a Barney Fife wanna be Sheriff! <br />Angie JonesAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049438063703314388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-62017913646019586012011-12-14T07:11:29.669-05:002011-12-14T07:11:29.669-05:00We of Occupy Wall St. Athens, GA are creating awar...We of Occupy Wall St. Athens, GA are creating awareness of the issues both locally as well as around the world.

I suppose that since I ran as a libertarian/conservative in heavily leftist Athens-Clarke County and you ran as a libertarian/progressive in heavily rightist Oconee County, we are something of kindred spirits, huh?<br /><br />JamesJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693848520425017883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-73681148683623359592011-05-31T13:39:55.589-04:002011-05-31T13:39:55.589-04:00As much as I appreciate Oconee being the most popu...As much as I appreciate Oconee being the most populous area of District 113, it is important to mention Oglethorpe also. I noted that you mentioned both Clarke and Morgan.<br /><br />I do fail to understand why the Morgan County Citizen has failed to mention your candidacy, while reporting on the three Republicans running for the seat. I would have thought that as soon as you declared the Morgan County party, would have issued a press release obviously not. Maybe things are different in Oglethorpe.spotted-dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076121281574070242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-9156837115755549412011-05-18T16:43:54.298-04:002011-05-18T16:43:54.298-04:00Bix, I added it after Ira&#39;s commentBix, I added it after Ira&#39;s commentOconee Democrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757603996078143355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-34487547871148512522011-05-18T15:57:33.235-04:002011-05-18T15:57:33.235-04:00Gee, Ira, it&#39;s only at the very top and very b...Gee, Ira, it&#39;s only at the very top and very bottom of the page.

That would be naive given their source of ad revenue.<br /><br />It may seem this inquiry is trite, but not if the man was a plant. First question indicates that Broun knew he was there &amp; his question. Broun stages such outrageous ruses to gain national attention from conservative media via blogs, radio talk shows &amp; Fox news. It&#39;s a no brainer for him.<br /><br />This is relevant because of the reasons Broun wants national attention. The ABH will never go after the real story behind this story. SO...

My grandfather was one of the original homeowners on Oakdale Road, and I enjoy all things that pertain to that subject. Also, my older sister who was born in the early 1950s attended your grandmother&#39;s nursery school and the pictures and memories that we have of that area and time are quite dear to us.<br />All the best,<br />George U.

I&#39;ve been the head judge for about eight years and it&#39;s been my practice for the past several years to bring in two folks from out of town to assist in the judging in hopes of being as impartial as possible.<br /><br />This year, my judges came from Reidsville, Ga. and Pembroke, Ga. respectively.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977189701561661922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-59427150614091628222010-11-30T00:25:59.875-05:002010-11-30T00:25:59.875-05:00I am so sorry for your loss.

I find it deeply offensive rather than actually challenge Paul Broun Jr on a policy level, you are talking about his son.<br /><br />Is this where we have come to in politics. Regardless of whether you do not like Paul Broun Jr or whether you do and it is obvious you do not, bringing his son into it, to me smacks of desperation.<br /><br />Russell Edwards will win or fail on his platform, not on what his opponents son is accused of. To bring any family member into a political equation, when they have not involved themselves, to me is wrong. <br /><br />It makes me question whether the Democratic Party is so desperate for votes, that they would rather fail to pursue the positives of their own candidate and would instead use smear tactics instead.spotted-dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076121281574070242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14417666.post-8987114855440841872010-07-13T20:38:05.155-04:002010-07-13T20:38:05.155-04:00I can&#39;t name a single bill Broun has introduce...I can&#39;t name a single bill Broun has introduced.
